1. Comment - Apple Issues Mac OS X 10.4.4, iLife '06

   I'd buy OSx, some applications and run it dual boot on my system if it were available. The used G4 I have collecting dust next to my PC will continue to be merely a Safari-testing toy that gets powered on once a month. Yes, I am playing with PearPC right now. Why doesnt Apple just ****ing get it? They could sell more copies of OSx to PC users, who would want to dual boot, than to the entire existing Mac populace. Pathetic job, um, Jobs.

   MS knows that slow proliferation of their new technology is the smartest move... Would you want to support a lot of poeple or a few of them?
   
   As for level of knowledge of some people here on betanews, yeah we have a wide range of members. Kinda the point. Experts wouldnt be experts if there werent noobs around...

   Here, here! Homesite was excellent in it's heyday... Dreamweaver is beyond bloated. It's overtly cluttered in it's own usefullness.

   Why? You're not a graphics person, are you? Photoshop alone justifies Adobe's existence, but there are other good apps they house. Acrobat is really the only thing that has drawn such negative press. But then again, it's really a very complex application if you consider it's use in web, press and just about every other communication media.

   Did I mention, OMG? As an avid Adobe and Macromedia user, this is just an amazingly big event on the radar.
   
   The good:
   Merger/elimination of some software apps.
   
   The bad:
   Merger/elimination of some software apps.
   
   Yes, it would be neat to see the integration of some mainstream applications, but don't overlook the change this will bring for a lot of people. Just one small example of what poeple will be griping about: I hope they dont ixnay my favorite illustration program Freehand. Yes, I also use Illifrustrator, but mainly for better vector import into Photoshop.
   
   And, OMG.
